Bloody elbows

Sitting in a&e waiting to have left elbow cleaned out and stitched after a pathetic off at brass monkeys. Must have been about 5mph front wheel wash out. Chose not to wear 666 elbow protectors as was raining so used nanos. Wife now so angry fledgling xc career under severe threat S'pose I have to wear g form all the time now.

Wife is angry because I am going to be v late so she will have to do what I was going to do plus she worries.
I seem to have delicate elbows or am falling more. It was pretty slippy by the end. Maybe I should move over to cross.....

Frimley were stellar, definately worth a compliment letter. No I made it to the end under own steam about 15m before cut off but felt I couldn't do an extra lap because of time to get elbow sorted
Friends I was supposed to cook for were there when I returned so wife is merely ignoring me. Rioja beckons

It could be worse. You could have busted your collar bone been taken in via ambulance and she,d have to work out how to find your car and get it home.....i speak from experience.

It could be worse still, if I have an off I'd probably end up in the hospital where my OH is currently in the A&E. The thought of her disapproving face being the last thing I see before a bone getting set is enough to keep me riding like a pansy for now.
